About me
- Do you feel stuck in your own head, overthinking or questioning if you are "doing enough"?
- Do you feel like you don’t quite fit in, no matter how hard you try to belong?
- Do you experience sudden surges of stress or panic without knowing the trigger?
- Do you ever feel a heavy wave of sadness or depression that seems to come out of nowhere?
- Do you find yourself "having it all together" on the outside, while feeling exhausted and anxious on the inside?
- You might find yourself feeling disconnected from those around you, or perhaps old memories and family issues are starting to weigh more heavily on your mind than they used to.
If you are struggling with the exhaustion of anxiety, the weight of depression, the heaviness of low mood, or the lasting impact of trauma, I'm here to help.
I am an MBACP Accredited integrative trauma counsellor offering sessions in-person in Godalming, Surrey, and online across the UK and worldwide in both English and Thai. I specialise in trauma recovery, anxiety, complex PTSD, and the patterns that keep us feeling stuck, exhausted, or disconnected from ourselves. No GP referral is needed to get started.
I provide a compassionate, professional space where you don’t have to "just get on with it." We work towards understanding your story and finding a path to peace.
My approach
My approach is compassionate, integrative, and deeply trauma-informed. Drawing on Person-Centred Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and Attachment-Based approaches,I tailor our sessions to address your most urgent concerns, whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or anger management. While we work on practical tools for the "here and now," we also create a safe space to explore how past experiences and attachment patterns might be influencing how you feel today.
- Psychoeducation: I incorporate trauma-informed approach to help you understand the "science of you," how your brain and nervous system respond to stress, anxiety, and panic.
- Empowerment: My goal is to empower you with practical tools to manage overwhelming emotions and navigate day-to-day life with more confidence.
- Cultural Identity: Having moved from Thailand to the UK, I offer a safe space for those navigating identity issues or the feeling of being "between worlds."
Your first step: How to get started
Taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting. You don't need to have the right words, a clear diagnosis, or a specific goal. I offer a gentle, non-judgmental space where you don't have to have all the answers. Here is how we begin:
- Reach out to me: Send me an enquiry via the 'Book Intro Call' or 'Email' button on top of the profile. We will then arrange a brief, free 15-minute consultation online.
- Initial consultation: This is a short, no-pressure call to discuss your main concerns, check my availability, and make sure I am the right therapist for your specific needs.
- The first session: In our first full 50-minute appointment, we will conduct a focused assessment. We’ll map out the challenges you’re facing and define clear goals for our work together.
- Ongoing work: We will typically meet weekly or fortnightly. Each session is a balance between exploring deeper experiences and developing practical tools you can use immediately to manage stress or trauma responses.

Training, qualifications & experience
My journey in the mental health field began in 2010 when I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Counselling in Education. This long-standing interest in human behaviour led me to further specialise by gaining an MSc (Level 7) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Derby. This enables me to master diverse integrative therapeutic models and tailor my approach to each individual I meet. I am fully accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
A significant part of my practice has been dedicated to trauma recovery. Beyond my work in the NHS, high-pressure frontline services, and specialist charities, where I have supported hundreds of adults navigating the aftermath of sexual violence and domestic abuse. I have extensive experience working within high-pressure frontline services, supporting individuals who face critical incidents and high-intensity trauma on a daily basis.
I also integrate advanced trauma-focused techniques with genuine compassion. My practice is bilingual, offering professional support in both English and Thai
Experience and specialisms
While my practice is rooted in trauma recovery, I am equally dedicated to supporting those navigating the challenges of daily life, stress, and emotional wellbeing. I have a track record of helping individuals through:
- Managing anxiety, panic attacks and overwhelming stress
- Recovery from abuse and/or complex trauma
- Sexual violence and domestic abuse
- Emotional regulation and resilience
- Relationship and attachment patterns
- Intercultural therapy and identity
Cultural identity and belonging
I also offer a dedicated space for those navigating cultural identity and the experience of living between worlds. Having moved from Thailand to the UK myself, I understand the particular weight of dual cultural expectations, the loneliness of being far from home, and the grief that often goes unspoken when you're the one who is "supposed to be fine." Sessions are available in English, Thai, or a natural mix of both whichever feels most comfortable for you.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
